William W. Geertsema,
Try disabling your antivirus first and then installing AntDM.
If AntDM is successfully installed, then add it to the antivirus white list and enable your antivirus.
(It is not clear from your message exactly what the problem was.)

John Campbell,

Disregard. Rebooted my computer and it seems to be working fine. Thanks!

Jim C, What I meant to say is; Uncheck, In the box below All downloads to one folder. Then highlight the category. Sorry about that.

MAJ,
Please rewatch YouTube video, select 1080p in YouTube player - you will see elements of images evenly.

Not everyone speaks and understands English in order to record audio commentary.
Thank you for understanding!

John Di Prima,
the default installation is here "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ant Download Manager\AntDM.exe"

Hilda, Never mind, got it. I had allowed it in my anti-virus, but had to turn it off to install it.

Robert,
There is a reason for the .gcd file (not .god) Many GOTD offers have a stipulation that you must install it within a 24 hour period from the time the offer was posted on GOTD, usually at 4AM EST which is my time zone. So you have 4 AM to 3:59 AM the next day to install said offer. After the 24 hours is up, the .gcd file will now longer function to install the program. It's that simple. In conclusion, the .gcd file is a 24 hour working file. Make a mental note of that.

Robert, I like how you think.

Robert,

Good luck with that. There is no registration code as the package is pre-registered, so the version from the vendors sight will do you no good in this instance.

D_Ram,

Ever simpler would just be for people to change to an anti-virus that doesn't create havoc with GOTD install files. All three AVs that are listed in the readme are huge data miners anyway. I'd never have a single one of them installed on my system, ever.

FeMaster, I agree. I do not use any of those, I use McAfee and although it also does some things I wish I could control it at at least lets me control these program installs.

Mario, Yes, it will ask you to close the current running version.

D_Ram,
If the previous version worked well for you, install the new version over it. Otherwise, do an completely
uninstall of the previous ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Ant Download Manager\unins000.exe) and then install the new one.

Borish, yes, it supports BitTottent protocol from 2.0.0 version.

AntDM, Does it support magnet: torrenting links or just old .torrent files which are not supported by many sites?

TK, If you have specific examples of torrent links, then send them as an example in order to answer you.
Better if you send them to our support email box: support@antdownloadmanager.com.

If you want a short answer, then magnet torrent links are supported.

AntDM, yes I wanted a short answer :-)
I'd like to add could you add an installation option in a similar manner to associating the .torrent file extension with Ant Downloader or in program option to register Ant Download manger as the magnet: protocol handler so one can simply click on a magnet: link in a web page and have it automatically launch Ant Downloader as opposed to any other bittorrent client that might be on the system?

TK, you should add "torrent" extension to File Types sa shown here
https://antdownloadmanager.com/uguide/module_5.htm
This option adds full automation of torrent file capture management.

Wanderer, no, just install it, it is pre-registered with the .gcd file.

dr. inspector,
Delete what you downloaded. With your antivirus software temp disabled, re-download this offer again to your desktop. Extract contents of the downloaded zip file to your desktop then run Setup.exe. Make sure your setup.gcd file is next to your Setup.exe otherwise it won't install. After install is done, delete both setup files then re-enable your antivirus software. Done!

The installer works fine here. Maybe time to think about a different anti-virus. Eset works great and NEVER causes a problem GOTD installation files.

Carolyn, Have you tried disabling your Anti Virus program AND your firewall for 10 mins?

Terry I., It's not the anti virus program or firewall that I have a problem with, it's any program that is packaged with a .gcd file

Carolyn, the readme file is correct
"your installation might be blocked by your antivirus (AVG, Avast or Kaspersky)!
This will result in no program installed on your PC EVEN IF YOUR ANTIVIRUS REPORTS NO FILES ARE BLOCKED.
In order to install the program, you'll have to temporally disable your antivirus.
If you have Kaspersky antivirus, disable it and restart the computer.

Carolyn, It could be your firewall causing that.

Windows blocking install of a certain type of file:

Click on the "Windows Firewall" link in the All Control Panel Items window. Click on the "Turn Windows Firewall On or Off" link in the left sidebar. Uncheck the box next to "Block All Incoming Connections, Including Those in the List of Allowed Apps" under Private Network Settings and Public Network Settings.

Carolyn,
or this:
In the top-right corner of the browser window, click the Chrome menu Chrome menu.
Select Settings.
Click Show advanced settings.
Under "Privacy," uncheck the box "Protect you and your device from dangerous sites"

also check this:
Files you download from the Internet may be blocked due to your computer system's current security settings. In Microsoft Windows, you can manage advanced security settings using the items available in the Control Panel.

D_Ram, I am puzzled since the first time I used setup.god what is the need for such packaging. Why is it not enough to provide the mfr setup.exe file to be used in junction with the registration process? After all these are not secret files, just simple give away promotional ones by the software maker to bring their product to the focus of user.

Robert, Its a check to make sure that you are only installing that day.

Carolyn, DRAG the gcd file to the folder where you put the Ant Download Manager Pro or copy it and paste it there.

Robert, I don't disagree with you on that, best I can tell it is just a way to insure it came from GOTD.

Carolyn, the gcd file includes registration information. Simply downloading the mfgr installer won't give you a registered copy.
The problem you are likely having is not extracting the files including the .gcd file in the .zip archive. The installer cannot read the .gcd file from the .zip archive.

Carolyn,
One of the reasons you may be having issues installing GOTD offers with the .gcd file is because you downloaded the offer while your antivirus was still on. Depending on how aggressive your antivirus is, it may go inside that .zip file and corrupt the .gcd file making it impossible to install these types of offers. In the future, temp disable antivirus before downloading any offer from GOTD. That way, your .gcd file (if it is in the zip file) won't be corrupted by your antivirus software. After download, extract contents to the desktop then install. After that, delete both setup files from your desktop before re-enabling your antivirus software. This is what I do and I have never had an issue installing GOTD software offers. Good luck.

Yes, if you have Kaspersky, you need to restart the computer, but first make sure the setting is disabled that runs Kasperky on startup. Just pausing protection still leaves things running in the background, but if you restart the computer AND KASPERSKY DOESN'T START UP, you should be able to install the software.

Just be sure to run Kasperksky when you're done with the install.

This drove me crazy for a long time before I realized that I had to do this.

I hadn't read the readme and didn't realize that this information is included in the readme file now.

Anyway, Carolyn, I hope you got it working.

Angus Stradamus, I too have tried figuring out why it did this. I thot was in settings, but it isn't. So I uninstalled the previous version. It won't work properly with Edge either, probably due to it's close Chrome relationship.
And no, I won't disable my browser guard. There has to be a workaround.

TAYLOR,
Please provide us (support@antdownloadmanager.com) with the link that you cannot download, we will definitely test it.
Thank you!
